[Opera-Linux] Flash freezes Opera after upgrade from 9.52 to 9.61

[Axel Beckert]

Hi,

after the upgrade from 9.52 to 9.61 on Debian amd64 (at least some)
flash scripts freeze Opera complete, so it does not even update the
screen anymore (e.g. if you switch to another desktop and back).

I had to disable all plugins by setting OPERA_PLUGIN_PATH=/dev/null,
else my last 9.52 session would always freeze when all tabs are load
after a few minutes. We are btw using libflashplayer.so (Adobe
Shockwave Flash 9.0 r115), and I guess Opera got its hands on via the
32-bit emulation.

Any idea why this regression happened? And will it be fixed in 9.62
which seems due since a few news sites sites reported a security issue
not fixed in 9.61 just one day after its release, e.g. at
http://www.heise-online.co.uk/security/Another-cross-site-hole-in-Opera--/news/111777

		Kind regards, Axel Beckert
